Beolab 5 blinking red light

4 replies

One of my beolab 5 speakers goes in a standby mode and redlight starts to blink after running for few hours . When i unplug the power supply and turn it back on it works fine for few more hours and same thing happens. I have tried recaliberating the speakers several time but the problem still exsists.

 Can anyone help please?

Have you re-entered the pin-code?

It could be that the speaker has been without power for too long, and that it therefore requires the pin-code.

The same thing happened to me last night but has Never happened before. My best guess is that there was mains power problem. (My mains clock also reset/flashing). I turned the Lab5s off/on and the problem seems to have gone away. The manual suggests that "The loudspeaker is equipped with a thermal protection system which prevents the units from overheating. Should an error occur, the system automatically switches the loudspeaker to standby – and the indicator light flashes red.... Should the problem persist, contact your Bang & Olufsen retailer." 

Thank you all for your quick response. I contacted beocare and they said this is due to something that is causing overheating in the speaker. I have placed a service call and someone from an electronic service center is coming over to diagnose the problem.
